The first Wisconsin Badger is officially off the board in the 2023 NFL draft. With the No. 43 overall selection, the New York Jets have selected Wisconsin center Joe Tippmann.
Tippmann was regarded by many as the top center in the 2023 class, and the Jets were a team with tons of needs along the offensive line.
The 6-foot-6, 313-pound Badger offensive lineman will bring needed size and skill to the Jets. He has an excellent chance to be a day one starter in New York.
The Indiana native was a 2022 honorable mention All-Big Ten selection and played in 12 games as Wisconsin’s starting center. He allowed only one sack and five pressures over 338 snaps at center.
